Broncos show Bulldogs how to recruit

[TalDog]

The only thing I thought is how ****ed Newcastle is .. offer huge overs still wont cut it

Apparently the Broncos paid more I don't understand why they let Hunter go and are paying the same money St George offered hunt to bird who is untested in the halves

Yes, the Donkeys and the Rorters both have a Salary Sombrero at least.
Or maybe even a Salary Marquee!

Broncos Salary Cap.

 

[BELMORE]

Is there enough fans in Brisbane to sustain a second team? They get 40k to the games... But how much do the Sydney teams get (combined)?

 

[Rodzilla]

broncos know how to escape a salary cap investigation, just get the person who cheats to quit and the nrl cant even ask him a question

Want me to get the video off Hunt costing Brisbane the GF again?

He's ordinary that's why

I take hunt over bird

 

[Brendan07]

I take hunt over bird

I wouldn't.

At least I know Bird will be top quality at his best and doesn't cost grand finals

 

[Wolfmother]

It will if it wins them another comp, and whilst Lewis, Gallen, etc are still there it sort of makes sense to have a gamble on Cronk delivering another title.

Wasn't the NRL traditionally only sydney area comp ?

Please no.

It's etched in my mind for fucking eternity.

No I will never get over my team losing that way, because of him.

 

[finchie]

Bird and Milford off the cuff players
Only settling influence is Boyd
Can't see how a milf and bird combo will work
But hey it's bennet so he knows better

Its funny how the Broncos go after a player with no fuss and drama and just nail him.

Jack Bird signs four year deal.

When we go after a player or try to retain a star it seems that it is played in the media for 3 months before we end up missing out.

The Broncos can teach us a thing or two about recruitment. I know they have lots of advantages but they sure as hell don't have as many leaks as we do. No-one knew about them going after Jack Bird until the last minute.

Broncos my arse. They've got half of that top end called Qld to themselves and still need to recruit.

Well I suppose if we are prepared to pay massive overs ($350K more than the Sharks) then we could get Bird too. Remind me again how many premierships the Donkeys have won with this great recruitment strategy in the last 20 years? Same as us.....

All teams have football scouts based in QLD.

What me to name the QLD teams the Bulldogs are linked with.

 

[Nasheed]

Broncos operate like this.

Mr Bird, here is your 700k contract yuleh.
Also, there is 2x full time bartender job in the leagues club paying 90k a year, we STRONGLY recommend your parents apply for these positions sir.

Also, knowing you get your weekends back after 9pm Fridays is enticing

Bahaha touché

 

[Bad Billy]

Please. It's no wonder they always get their man.
We've NEVER spent that kind of money on a player, but always spend our entire cap.
Brisbane have a team of internationals and origin players but somehow still have $1.2m a year to spend.
It wouldn't have been much of a decision for bird. It would've been all he could do to not cartwheel out of the office.

 

[Z-Dizzle]

Disregard the whole sponsorship advantage of Brisbane and how flexible their cap is due to it.

It seems like Des is the one showing the Broncos how to recruit. They now have 2 running halves going into next year. I still can't figure out why the Broncos are going for Bird unless they are shaping up to release someone in their 1,3,4,6. Even then, Bird has basically moved because he wants a half or fullback spot. So it will either be Boyd or Milford leaving, or a 1,6,7 that lacks a genuine organiser and long range kicker. I wonder how that will work out?

Or don't leave a paper trail.

Invest in one of these.

It's well worth the price.

 

[flamebouyant]

I have two points to weigh in with here. 1) arent the broncos owned by news limited? Therefore of course news limited owned papers like the telecrap and courier mail wouldnt want to make a fuss about them going after bird as it might inflate his price. And 2) cronulla didnt lose a half, they lost a centre. And thats half the reason he left. So i dont think they would go hard after or cronk, or even teynolds for that matter. Especially if he wants 800k.
